4 Finding aid for the Grand Rapids, a City Renewed collection Collec Scope and Contents note This collection contains working documents and reference images, along with other materials, associated with the preparation of the book, Grand Rapids, a city renewed : a history since World War II. Copy photographs new to the GRPL Archival collections, gathered for the book, or others copied from existing GRPL collections were already in use before this finding aid was created. It is believed that some items may already have been removed, and may have migrated to other collections, due to the lack of a working inventory, and processing documentation on the actual photo. Many of the photos used in the book are missing from the photographs included in this collection. The paper files included as part of this collection are low priority for use, and have not yet been processed. Administrative Information Publication Information Grand Rapids Public Library, Grand Rapids History and Special Collections Department Conditions Governing Use note Several of the photographs in this collection have one time use stamps, which means that the borrower must obtain permission from the donor/owner, before the photo can be used in publications.
